Hey, here's a script preview of that story.

Now back to Stormblood. 'Kay, bye.

Whoops, I saved this to drafts instead of posting it!

Well hey, new story that I'm going to turn into a script for a class. Enjoy my new story, "Powerless".

“Think about how you got here, Reed. What did you do to end up on that side of the table, with enough chains on you to anchor a cruise liner.” The man across the room eyed Caden a few times, then tossed a manila folder to him. It hit the tabletop without much force, but the sound it made seemed deafening in the quiet room.

                  “Well, I assume it’s because I stopped a robbery, officer Doyle,” Caden said, shrugging. The chains on his shoulders and back clinked against one another as he struggled to lift them. “Or maybe it’s because I didn’t eat my Wheaties? Oh wait, no. This is some kind of test, isn’t it? Like the ones they do at jobs to make sure you’re honest. I’ve always been shit at-“

                  “Enough, Reed.”

                  “Jeez, who pissed in your cereal today?”

                  “You apparently. Registration is law, you know that.”

                  “Oh that? Yeah, forgive me if I don’t want to be a government stooge.”

                  “What the hell do you have against registering? You’re a meta-human, you could literally be the most popular force for good on the planet if you got your head out of your ass for fifteen seconds.”

                  “And then what? You point me in a direction and expect me to go and melt doors off their hinges? You know what happens when the government has us all on the payroll Doyle.”

                  “I know where you’re going, Caden. Don’t even-“

                  “Once we’re working for the government-“

                  “Reed, I swear to god-“

                  “They say who’s good and bad-“

                  “Shut your-“

                  “And good people get caught in the middle, just like Claire.”

                  “Shut the fuck up Reed!” Doyle’s hand crashed into the table, leaving a dent that showed he could’ve easily brained a rhino with his bare hands.

                  “You were so proud of her Richard,” Caden said. “You loved her. She was blood after all. And I loved her too. But she believed in what we did. I’ve been helping people, without needing someone to tell me who the heroes and who the villains are. I see something bad, I stop it. Just like she wanted.”

                  “You’re breaking the law, Caden. So was she.”

                  “And they killed her for it, Richard. They killed Brute Force’s, their own star’s, only daughter.”

                  “It was an accident, there was so much chaos…”

                  “But if they had let us do what we set out to do, no one would’ve died.”

                  Officer Doyle sighed. His head hung low as he turned away from Caden.

                  “You’re like a son to me, Caden, but you know I can’t just let you go. There are four more officers on their way with the insulated restraints. You won’t be able to get out of those, even if I did just unlock you.”

                  “You’re not Thunderhead. Those don’t mean a damn thing to you. You’re the one and only Brute Force, the best meta-cop on the planet.”

                  “I’m registered. They’ll hunt down my wife, my mom, everyone.”

                  “Not if we hide them. I know more than enough people and places that your family can disappear to.”

                  “So, what, you want me to join your vigilante squad? Metas are basically nuclear warheads with an I.Q. People could still get hurt.” Doyle’s phone buzzed in his pocket. He pulled it out and glanced at the screen. “It doesn’t matter, they’re ten minutes away with the transport.”

                  “Still time,” Caden said, pushing his chained-up arms across the table. “Better your finger on the launch button than someone who’s never seen the effects. What’s your call?”

Holy crap I've been busy!

        So new month and it already feels like I'm at the end because of how much work we're getting done at school. This week we have 7 assignments in one class due tomorrow (don't worry, I'm on number 5 right now) and a story to write for the other. And that's just week one! But in writing news, I'm still working on a spec script for Heroes of Olympus, and I have two comics I'm scripting. One, called "Pagelings" I'm working on with my lovely lady, and another called "The Ifrit's Heart" that I'm working on with a fellow student. Links will go up when they start, and thanks for waiting patiently for this post!

Oh goody, it's a sample!

        So i finally made the amount of progress on that project I've been working on! But before that, a quick nerding out! Kingsman 2 is on the way and I absolutely loved the first one, so I've been watching the first one every dang night! I can't wait for the over-the-top, amazingly corny jokes ("This ain't that kind of movie bruv."),  and the [SPOILERS] return of Colin Firth! Anyhowitzer, enough about that, time for the reveal, right? Here's a picture of the work below!

Guessed what it is? Hint: I'm working on a script for an animated "The Heroes of Olympus" series to pitch to Rick and Disney. Here's hoping right? Anyhowitzer again, I should get back to work, have a great weekend!

It's Friday night!

        So it's Friday night, and the world keeps moving! My sample that I said might be out this week, unfortunately, isn't ready just yet, but hopefully next week it will be! I want to make sure that it's in a really good place to make sure it's presentable. In other news, my club at school, CyberLAN Gaming (Not actually my club but I'm an officer) is quite possibly getting a Tespa chapter! It's not finalized yet, but I did get to meet with a representative online today!

        I do want to take a moment to give a shout out to someone I found this week (read: literally yesterday and I binge read 600+ pages of their comic), Emy Bitner. She makes a comic called Trying Human which you can find here! Keep in mind it's mildly NSFW (strong language, minor nudity, and adult situations in Emy's words), but it's a fantastic read and it's not over the top in any of those categories. Please, enjoy the comic!

Friday success!

        As the week draws to a close, and Spring break comes to an end, I contemplate what lies ahead and realize only one thing. "Crap, I'm going to have to wake up at a reasonable hour for class this month!"
        In all seriousness, I'm really looking forward to this month (even if class starts at 9 am, ugh). And a little more insight on that secret project I mentioned, here's a clue! The project is going to be an adaptation of a story that wasn't given proper respect in the past. Hmm what could it be? Well hold your dang horses and you'll find out! Peace in the Middle East until next week, with hopefully, a sample!

I'm horrible I know.

        I know, no Friday post again, sorry! I'm still on spring break until next Saturday so I'm going to my best to make sure that there's an actual Friday post this coming week. In the meantime, please know that I've seen Your Name. three times now in theaters now, and each time it hits me right in the feels. I honestly believe that, as a screenwriter, you should study what's out and why it does well or not. I've gone into this movie three times and I've decided that it's going to be the benchmark for my writing from here on out. Any original projects that I do, will strive to meet the quality that is Your Name.

        That being said, I do also have a project that I'm working on currently. It's very under wraps until I get a little farther along, but I know a good deal of my friends will enjoy the idea. I can give you one clue though, it's not my story, but one that deserves to be done some real justice. More on that at a later date, and this time, a post on Friday, woo!
